I was curious about that. I plan to ask if he put them in. What does the VIN have in it that would tell it apart as being 87 or 88 and would it have anything to say about t-tops?
there are several members here with 87GT with T-tops. The car looks clean. Hood looks rough and needs sail panels... I would start offer around $2500..but I would want to see receipts on the engine rebuild and see what was really done..

Ripped driver seat Bad paint Missing sails The dog bone looks to be slightly cocked to one side, which could mean bad mounts. You'd have to take it for a ride to be sure Looks like delam on tail lights - hard to tell from the lighting in the picture I'd also take a close look at the t-top seals. The paint is pretty bad, indicating it's spent a lot of time in sun and in the elements. The seals for the t-tops could be shot, and are expensive and hard to find

2k was what I was hoping for so this at least gives me some ammo against his price! Thanks again
The interior isn't dot matrix and the exhaust crossover doesn't have the 88 heat shield, so its very likely an 87, even though the paint for the ground effects is the same (only on 88's or has been repainted).
$1800 to $2000 is what I'd offer, as posted, sail windows, poor paint, ripped seats, torn rear gasket
Know that if you get it, you will need to do something with that air intake. The filter is right under the air grate where it will get very wet and degrade, not to menchon suck water into the engine.
Figure putting at least 2000 - 2500 into replacing the missing parts, paint, seat covers, etc...
The less you get it for, the more you'll have to restoring it. Are the rims gray, or stripped of paint ?
Oh yea, no such thing as a "special edition GT sport" , it's a GT w/ t-tops.

Yea I was wondering what was up with that filter placement, definitely a non-fiero guy working on a fiero methinks. I have not yet seen it in person, and yea I knew the "special edition" was just BS for his craigslist title haha so I'm thinking I can just drown him in info and lower the price. I hope.
That car isn't rare or special. If it is running. Offer $1000. Let an idiot buy it otherwise. Seriously let him talk you up to $1500, which I think is pushing it.

Best advice in this thread. Those sails are hundreds if you go with factory. Same for the tail lights. You could likely drop $1000 just on those 2 items. Seals around the t-tops if cracked or dry are going to be $500+. Paint is shot. Rims likely need to be redone. Seats need redone. You are getting yourself into quite a project here. I've owned a bunch of project Fieros, I'd spend more money and get one in a lot better condition. I don't see anything about the A/C being functional. That can get pricey and if you don't know how or have the tools likely will be something you have to have a shop do. You really need a vacuum and gauges to do one correctly, not to mention if you don't convert to a different refrigerant you can't get R12.
